Good Luck!
P.S. LATEST NEWS: Papa and Mo have submitted their answers and they only missed one question. They are the people to beat right now...
P.S.S. Kristina Rolph and her husband are now tied with Mo and Papa for first place! It's going to be a close match.
Person that got almost all the answers wrong but is definitely very funny...Emily Scharman. Please see below:
I really want to be smarter than a 2nd grader but remember that story on Thanksgiving when my daughter quietly corrected me that the pilgrims came over on the Mayflower and NOT the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria? I mean, I knew that, I just didn't remember that at that particular moment.Please don't tell anyone how stupid I am...though I don't really think I am fooling anyone--I just try to distract them with my other skills.

ok, I started an email but I'm not sending it because I don't know 3 of them... I know I would know the red cross and big dipper ones if I heard them... I need to go find my notes from second grade, one sec...
Way to go to your son, by the way!
Good golly, that is not an easy test! You've got a smart boy, that is for sure. But we've known that right from the beginning. It's all the Wiggles he used to watch. :)
I just e mailed you and now I am sitting here in my lonely state laughing at myself because I think I am so funny.
Other than recognizing Abe Lincoln.. I got nothing. (I know. Soo-prise, soo-prise.)
Emilys 'Oprah' answer just made me laugh out loud.
How do you expect anyone to compete with Emily's brilliancy? Sheeesh!
That was my deleted comment. I posted my answers here (oops). I'll email them on to you. I think I'm pretty good. I bet you didn't give yourself enough credit! This is my attempt to remind myself that my brain isn't fried mush after all the yelling and timeouts we've had at our house lately (for both mom and three-year-old).
